As a WestJet B737 Captain, I've spent countless nights in hotel rooms across Canada and beyond. One evening, after a long flight, I tossed my worn-out plastic toothbrush into the trash and had a moment that changed everything. Staring at that bin, I realized: this little piece of plastic would outlive me, sitting in a landfill for centuries, contributing to the mountains of waste choking our planet. It was a wake-up call. How many toothbrushes do we all discard every year? Billions. And most aren't recyclable. That night, I dove into research and discovered a glaring gap in eco-friendly options. That's how Brush Naked was born – a company dedicated to making sustainable oral care accessible, fun, and effective.
At Brush Naked, our mission is simple: promote sustainable living through the power of the 3 Rs – reduce, reuse, and recycle. But we flip the script by putting "reduce" first. Why create more waste when we can prevent it? Our bamboo toothbrushes are designed to minimize environmental impact from the start. Made from 100% moso bamboo – a fast-growing, renewable resource – our handles are fully compostable. Toss them in your backyard compost or garden, and they'll break down naturally, returning to the earth without a trace. We offer two bristle options: soft Dupont Tynex nylon for a gentle clean (BPA-free and recyclable where facilities allow) or charcoal-infused for extra whitening power. And for the little ones? Our kid-sized brushes make eco-habits fun from the get-go.
What sets us apart? It's not just the products; it's the full-circle sustainability. Our packaging is 100% recyclable. We even have bamboo travel tubes with air holes to keep your brush fresh on the go – perfect for pilots like me or anyone with a wanderlust spirit. Plus, with our subscription service, you get 15% off and never run out, reducing shipping emissions too. We're proud to say every part of our process aligns with "Happy Mouth | Happy Planet" – because a bright smile shouldn't cost the earth.
Switching to Brush Naked isn't just about better brushing; it's about joining a movement. Did you know that over 4 billion plastic toothbrushes end up in landfills and oceans annually? By choosing bamboo, you're reducing that number, one brush at a time. Our customers rave about the ergonomic feel, the natural grip, and the peace of mind knowing they're making a difference. As a family man and entrepreneur, I love hearing stories from parents teaching their kids about sustainability or travellers packing our brushes for eco-conscious adventures.
